Monumental Axis Tour (3 hours)
Your adventure kicks off at the Television Tower, from which we'll cycle along the Monumental Axis. This arterial road showcases the government edifices of Brasilia, crafted by Oscar Niemeyer, renowned for his fluid architectural style.
The route includes a ride through the southern sector, featuring the commercial zone and healthcare facilities, as well as the northern sector, which is centered on cultural institutions. Points of interest include the national library and museum, as well as the Metropolitan Cathedral. Further along, we will visit the Esplanade of the Ministries and the Plaza de Los Tres Poderes, ultimately concluding the tour at the Lucio Costa Hall and the Ministry of Justice, finishing at the central bus station.
Fatima Quarter and Church Tour (3 hours)
This tour will lead you through the vicinity of the Church of Fatima and its surrounding residential area. The journey begins at the TV Tower as we cycle past the Clube do Choro, the iconic concert venue of Brasilia, and the beautifully landscaped Sarah Kubitschek Park.
Next, we’ll progress to Sul 308 Square and the Brasilia Cinema, the hub for the city’s film festival. Continuing with a cultural focus, we will visit the Renato Russo space before arriving at the Church of Our Lady of Fatima, constructed at Sarah Kubitscheck's request. Our final destination will be the Don Bosco Sanctuary, honoring the patron saint of the city.
Lucio Costa Sectors Tour (5 hours)
This extended route invites you to delve into the vision of Lucio Costa, an architect who significantly influenced modern design in Brazil. It's interesting to note that Brasilia is noted as the only contemporary designated UNESCO World Heritage Site. Costa’s design encompasses four defined areas: monumental, social, residential, and bucolic.
The tour commences along the Monumental Axis, where the main buildings of Brasilia are situated. From there, we will navigate the residential regions, observing the "superquadras" which are designed as extensive self-sufficient blocks.
